Liberty's high court challenge of Met police tactics

The Metropolitan police used anti-terror searches to intimidate, disrupt and deter protest at DSEI.

In response, Liberty challenges these police tactics in the high court judicial review on the 2nd of October, 2003. Supporters should arrive at 9am outside the Royal Courts of Justice, on The Strand, London.

On December 10th, Blunkett ordered an Scotland Yard investigation of alleged misuse of the anti-terror searches at DSEI. Blunkett's statements suggest that
this was the first time anti-terror search powers may have been misused, but there is substantial documentation of such police tactics being employed against protesters around 'RAF Fairford' airbase during the invasion of Iraq.

In July 2003, Liberty, Gloucestershire Weapons Inspectors, and Berkshire CIA issued the 22 page report "Casualty of War - Eight weeks of counter terrorism in rural England".

Take cases to the UN or European court of human rights

24.09.2003 14:23

Cases of wrongful arrest at ther DSEi protests should be taken to the European court of human rights or the United Nations. The government were totally wrong to hold this arms fair so lets get them in as much shit as possible!

Nice attempt to sow confusion, Spooky

Either someone is naughtily using "Off his" Rockers' nom de plume, or he's even less consistent than I thought.

Rockwell seems to have played a good part in DSEi protest organisation.
There are few possibilities
-- the chief one being Rockwell is Rockwell and this is what happens in way of dilution when IMC starts to spin the media to attract numbers instead of the substance. Substance first then numbers!
-- another possibility is there was once a Rockwell who got invovled in organising anti DSEi measures but is an irresponsible git in not trying to face off another ID theft.

Whatever the case Rockwell's point /here/ is correct.
